Antonio Puchades Casanova (4 June 1925 – 24 May 2013) was a Spanish footballer who played as a defensive midfielder.

Club career

Puchades was born in Sueca, Valencian Community. During his career he played solely for his hometown club Valencia CF, signing in 1945 and going on to spend 12 seasons in La Liga.[1] In his first season with the first team, however, he appeared in only four games as the Che won the national championship, becoming a regular from then onwards.[2][3][4]

Puchades retired from football in 1958 at the age of 33, being awarded a testimonial match the following year, against OGC Nice.[5] He subsequently lost all connection to the football world, going on to work in family businesses.

International career

Puchades gained 23 caps for Spain, during five years. He was a member of the 1950 FIFA World Cup squad, appearing in all six games as the nation finished fourth in Brazil.[6]

Death

Puchades, affectionally known as Tonico, died in his hometown of Sueca on 24 May 2013, two weeks shy of his 88th birthday.[7][8]
